“I Stayed Here” Changes Everything
The only verification system that ties every single review to a confirmed hotel stay. No stay, no review. Period.
“Terrible hotel! Worst experience ever. Dirty rooms, rude staff, broken AC. Never coming back!”
Today’s Review Platforms Are Broken
Not a single major review platform verifies that a reviewer actually stayed at your hotel. Anyone with an internet connection can destroy your reputation.
Google Reviews
- Anyone with a Gmail account can review
- No stay verification whatsoever
- Competitor manipulation is rampant
- Political brigading goes unchecked
TripAdvisor
- Self-reported stays with zero proof
- Review farms game the system daily
- Hotels can't challenge unverified reviews
- Outdated reviews stay visible for years
Yelp
- No hospitality-specific verification
- Filtered reviews create hidden bias
- Pay-to-play perception damages trust
- One bad review from a non-guest tanks your score

Four Pillars of Verified Trust
“I Stayed Here” says it all. Every layer is designed to eliminate noise and surface truth.
PMS-Sourced Truth
Every verification starts with your Property Management System. Checkout data - guest name, dates, room number - creates the whitelist. No PMS confirmation, no review access. This isn't self-reported. This is system-confirmed.
Room-Level Precision
Reviews aren't just tied to your hotel, they're tied to the exact room. Room 412, not "the hotel." This means you know which rooms are underperforming, which need maintenance, and which are your best assets. No other platform does this.
Zero Fake Reviews
No Gmail account can trash your hotel. No competitor can brigade your scores. No disgruntled non-guest can leave a 1-star review. If they didn't check in and check out, they don't exist in our system. Full stop.
Time-Stamped Accuracy
Reviews are locked to the guest's actual stay dates. A review from January reflects January conditions, not a grudge posted six months later. Your data stays current, relevant, and actionable.
How “I Stayed Here” Works
Six steps from checkout to verified review. Fully automated. Zero manual intervention. Every review tied to a confirmed stay.
Guest Completes Stay
A guest checks out of your hotel. Their stay is recorded in your Property Management System with room number, dates, and guest identity.
PMS checkout data is the single source of truth.
PMS Data Syncs to Roomza
Your PMS automatically exports checkout data to Roomza. We match guest identity, reservation dates, and the specific room they occupied.
Encrypted, automated, zero manual work for your team.
Guest Added to Whitelist
Only guests whose stay is confirmed by PMS data are added to the verified review whitelist. No confirmation, no access to leave a review.
This is the gate. No stay = no review. Period.
Review Invitation Sent
The verified guest receives a personalized invitation to review their specific room. The review is pre‑linked to their room number and stay dates.
Room‑level precision from the very first step.
Guest Submits Room Review
The guest rates their specific room across 9 categories: cleanliness, comfort, noise, condition, view, bathroom, temperature, amenities, and value.
Granular, actionable, room‑level intelligence.
Review Published with Verified Badge
The review goes live with the "I Stayed Here" verified badge. Hotels, guests, and the market know this review is real and tied to a confirmed stay.
Trust you can see. Credibility you can prove.
Roomza vs. Everyone Else
No other platform verifies that a reviewer actually stayed at your hotel. Here’s the full comparison.
Partial = self-reported, not verified via PMS

Fake Review Attack
The Problem
A bad actor posts 14 fake 1-star reviews on Google in one week. Traditional platforms offer no recourse.
The Solution
With Roomza, only verified guests who actually stayed can leave reviews. Fake reviews become impossible.
Room-Level Renovation Decisions
The Problem
CapEx budgets are limited. Which rooms actually need renovation? Aggregate reviews don't tell you.
The Solution
Verified reviews tied to specific room numbers reveal exactly which rooms underperform and why.
Staff Performance Insights
The Problem
Guest complaints mention "the front desk" but you can't identify patterns or training needs.
The Solution
Verified stay data correlates feedback with shifts and teams, revealing actionable patterns.
Protect your hotel from fake review attacks and reputation volatility.
Verified reviews ensure only real guests shape your reputation.
A Room Quality Score From Guests Who Actually Stayed
Not Google reviews from strangers with agendas. Not TripAdvisor ratings from people who never checked in. A verified score built on confirmed stays. This is what makes the direct book button convert.
Every review tied to a confirmed stay and identified room. Only guests who actually stayed can review. No fake reviews. No competitor sabotage. Just real feedback from real guests.
"Terrible hotel! Worst experience ever. Dirty rooms, rude staff, broken AC. Never coming back!"
Don't Let Fake Reviews Win
Your hotel deserves reviews from people who actually stayed there. Roomza’s “I Stayed Here” verification makes that a reality.
